Abstract
Collaborations Between Speech-Language Pathology and Early Childhood Special Education Graduate Programs
Highlights
Interprofessional education (IPE) is a pedagogical approach that has evolved over the years (National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, 2017)
Not all respondents answered all questions. (See Table 1 for responses to quantitative survey questions.) To determine the presence of early interventionist/early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) emphases within graduate speech-language pathology programs, survey questions were analyzed for emphasis in EI, ECSE, or EI/ECSE combined
Results indicated 51% (37/72) of universities with graduate speech-language pathology programs who responded to the survey had a graduate program in EI/ECSE, whereas 49% (35/72) did not
Summary
Interprofessional education (IPE) is a pedagogical approach that has evolved over the years (National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, 2017). Students within IPE programs develop academic and clinical competencies in shared values, effective communication, teambased assessment techniques, coordinated interventions, and apply values and ethics while working as members of interprofessional teams (Council on Academic Accreditation [CAA], 2017). Proficiency in these competencies can lead to future professional speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who deliver high quality care as members of an interprofessional team. Team members may include developmental pediatricians, occupational therapists (OT), physical therapists (PT), and physicians (Barton, Moore, & Squires, 2012). Within early childhood educational settings, team members may include early interventionists, early childhood special education teachers, general education teachers, OTs, PTs, nurses, and families (Barton, Moore, & Squires, 2012; Yang, Hossain, & Sitharthan, 2013)
